Description

Rich russet brown hand-dyed Falklands merino yarn.

Olwen Fine is a sumptuously soft extra fine Falklands Merino yarn, with a springy 2-ply construction. Olwen has a very bright and clear response to dye, and tends somewhat to the variegated side of semi-solid on the standard Triskelion colourways. Each 100 gram hank is approximately 800 metres of yarn, and is spun in Yorkshire.

This isn’t superwash treated, and I would recommend a hand-wash with gentle detergent in hand-hot water in order to keep the colours looking their best. The yarn has been produced in a smoke-free and pet-friendly home, but no pets have had access to the fibre. Please be aware that, while I make every attempt to provide you with accurate photographs, the colours in them may vary from monitor to monitor.

Based at Pistyll Gwyn Farm in Carmarthenshire in West Wales, I produce hand-dyed British yarns. My yarns are generally British-sourced, other than silk and cashmere. All my yarns are kettle-dyed using single-pigment dyes, yielding rich, strong colours with lots of subtle detailing.
